BREED FROM PURE MALES
ONLY.

Farmers who keep common fowls
for eggs and poultry would find it
greatly to their advantage to breed
from pure bred males. Fanciers know
that by judicious crossing of pure
breeds they produce birds that for
economic merit alone excel either
breed in its purity. But more espec-
tally is this advancement noticeable on
breeding the pure-bred male with the
common mixed stock of the farmer.
He knows that if he desires to increase
the size and market value when
dressed, he CAN find the bird to do it
with among the mammoth Asiatic
breeds-the Brahmas and Cochins. If
he wishes to increase the egg produc-
ton in a wonderful degree, he will
choose from among the varieties of
Leghorns. If his object Is to combine
plenty of eggs with good plump yellow
skinned carcass, he has but to elect
one of u popular American birds,
the American Dominique, the
Plymouth Rock or the Wyandotte.
OF these the Plymouth Rock is used
most. Both are a pure breed, and for
crossing they are hard to excel. The
Houdan male mated to common hens
produces fine and vigorous stock, pos
sessing good plump bodies, larger than
either parent, of wonderfully quick
growth, steady all-the-year-round lay
ers, and were it not for the objection
able white skin in our markets would
be the best general ros for the COM
mon fowl of our country. The pullets
of this o nearly all come black with
a small topknot. These crosses are
any of them much better than mong-
rels bred together. Young pure bred
cockerels suitable for crossing of any
of our leading breeds may be obtained
from u breeders of pure poultry at
very low prices compared with the
prices obtained for high scoring birds,
and such an investment is sure to pay
if properly managed. Farmers, do
not hesitate to improve your fowls

POULTRY NOTES.

Massachusetts, has a law requiring
eggs to be sold by weight.
While ducks do not require SO much
house and yard room as other poultry,
they should still have convenient and
comfortable quarters.
1t don't pay the farmers to keep
common dunghill fowls. While you
are improving your stock don't forget
the chickens, and when you buy get
the best.
Put a few ears of corn in the oven
and let them remain until reduced to
charcoal. Feed this to the fowls and
notice increased egg production, re-
marks a poultry raiser.
A grade hen that won't net her
owner at least one dollar per annum
isn't worth having. A thousand
chickens properly cared for, are worth
an even thousand dollars annually.
Use every means to tame your flock;
Some breeds are more easily tanned
than others, but if you can have your
hens as tame as a house cat, they Will
lay more eggs, and above all, lay Oh
o flesh than if you have to chase
them a mile OR so every time you
want to transfer them to other quarters

POULTRY FEEDING

Any rule in regard to quantity Of
food is difficult to establish and unsale
to rely upon, because the appetite Oh d
flock is not always the same. lney
may eat a given quantity for break1as'
one morning and leave half OF IL 1Ie
next. Nature is the only infalllDle
guide. A fowl is naturally a mos
incessant feeder. At liberty they arc
continually scratching for something
to eat. In confinement we lmlta'o
nature as far as we can in caring loi
them.
